Tina Fey & Jeff Richmond

On June 3, 2001, Tina Fey, the star and creator of 30 Rock, married her long-time boyfriend, composer/musician Jeff Richmond. The couple tied the knot in a Greek Orthodox ceremony in her hometown of Philadelphia.

Their romance started seven years earlier when they met while working at the Second City in Chicago. After they were both hired at Saturday Night Live (Fey as a writer and Richmond as a composer), their relationship continued to grow.

During the summer of 2000, while on vacation at Lake Michigan, Richmond proposed to Fey on bended knee. He later told PEOPLE Magazine, “If I’d known so many people would ask me how I proposed, I would have done it in some more theatrical way.”

In 2005, Fey got pregnant and gave birth to a girl, who they named Alice. A year later, both Fey and Richmond left SNL to work on her new show 30 Rock. Although it can be hard on a marriage when the couple works together, the two seem to effortlessly make it work.

“I think that we complement each other nicely because we’re not in the same room all day. There’ll be whole days we’ll be at work and not see each other until the ride home. And we’ve been working at the same place for a long time,” Fey told Readers Digest.

We at PROPOSAL hope the couple at least take today off from their busy lives to celebrate! Cheers!
